This is quite a common problem, but I am posting it here in case I forget it later!

It is well documented that you have to add an entry into the web.config file in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\, but I found that it can be quite fussy as to how these lines are formatted. The lines I added were as follows (I have left the /appSettings and /configuration references in as pointers):

These are the things that I tried to get it working: - Ensured that all the indentations were correct for the system.net and defaultProxy references. - Entered http:// at the start of the proxy address rather than just have the FQDN. - Ensured that there were no blank lines between any of the code.
